The Education Department, while complying with the court order, plans to fight the decision, arguing its original definition of “professional programs” was lawful. The revised rule adds 29 specific degrees to the higher loan cap list, but also removes some programs—including theology degrees—into the lower cap category, affecting students in those fields. The administration’s broader student loan overhaul aimed to cap debt at $200,000 for professional degrees and $100,000 for others, down from the previous unlimited borrowing model. Advocates for nurses and therapists hailed the pause as a victory, while the Department remains confident its original rule will prevail in court.
